I know there are questions posted elsewhere about how to implement in-app purchases on iPhone and Android, but none answer the legality of the solutions today. At the time of release, there was some dispute over whether some of these s开发者_如何学运维olutions violate terms of service, but it's now several months later. There are also now several exceptions like Amazon, which seem to circumvent iTunes for purchases.
Anyone have a definitive answer?
It seems that the App Store has two main rules when it comes to in-app purchases (IAP):
- Buying physical goods or services outside the app using the in-app purchase API is not allowed
- Using something other than the in-app purchase API to purchase content, functionality, or services in an app is not allowed
Amazon is Ok on both these, but I don't know enough about the Zong, Paypal or Boku apps.
